Dual Brønsted/Lewis acid catalysis involving environmentally benign, readily accessible protic acid and iron promotes site-selective tert-butylation of electron-rich arenes using di-tert-butylperoxide. This transformation inspired the development of a synergistic Brønsted/Lewis acid catalyzed aromatic alkylation that fills a gap in the Friedel–Crafts reaction literature by employing unactivated tertiary alcohols as alkylating agents, leading to new quaternary carbon centers. Corroborated by DFT calculations, the Lewis acid serves a role in enhancing the acidity of the Brønsted acid. The use of non-allylic, non-benzylic, and non-propargylic tertiary alcohols represents an underexplored area in Friedel–Crafts reactivity.Dual Brønsted/Lewis acid catalysis involving environmentally benign, readily accessible protic acid and iron promotes site-selective tert-alkylation of arenes using di-tert-butylperoxide and tertiary alcohols. 相似文献

We elucidate the stereo-controlling factors of the asymmetric intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of terminal olefins catalyzed by bulky Brønsted acids [Science2018, 359 (6383), 1501–1505] using high-level electronic structure methods. The catalyst–substrate interaction is described using a dispersion-driven induced-fit model, in which the conformational changes of the catalyst and of the substrate in the transition states are governed to a large extent by London dispersion forces. The distortion energy of the catalyst is dominated by the change in the intramolecular dispersion interactions, while intermolecular catalyst–substrate dispersion interactions are the major stabilizing contribution in the transition state. This model provides a new general framework in which to discuss the stereoselectivity of transformations catalyzed by such confined organocatalysts.We elucidate the stereo-controlling factors of the asymmetric intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of terminal olefins catalyzed by bulky Brønsted acids [Science2018, 359 (6383), 1501–1505] using high-level electronic structure methods. 相似文献

The Lewis/Brønsted catalytic properties of the Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) nodes can be tuned by simply controlling the solvent employed in the synthetic procedure. In this work, we demonstrate that Hf-MOF-808 can be prepared from a material with a higher amount of Brønsted acid sites, via modulated hydrothermal synthesis, to a material with a higher proportion of unsaturated Hf Lewis acid sites, via modulated solvothermal synthesis. The Lewis/Brønsted acid properties of the resultant metallic clusters have been studied by different characterization techniques, including XAS, FTIR and NMR spectroscopies, combined with a DFT study. The different nature of the Hf-MOF-808 materials allows their application as selective catalysts in different target reactions requiring Lewis, Brønsted or Lewis–Brønsted acid pairs.The Brønsted/Lewis acid properties of Hf-MOF-808 can be tuned by simply controlling the solvent employed in its synthesis, with direct catalytic implications on the activity and selectivity of organic reactions sensitive to the active site nature. 相似文献

Organometallic intermediates participate in many multi-catalytic enantioselective transformations directed by a chiral catalyst, but the requirement of optimizing two catalyst components is a significant barrier to widely adopting this approach for chiral molecule synthesis. Algorithms can potentially accelerate the screening process by developing quantitative structure–function relationships from large experimental datasets. However, the chemical data available in this catalyst space is limited. Herein, we report a data-driven strategy that effectively translates selectivity relationships trained on enantioselectivity outcomes derived from one catalyst reaction systems where an abundance of data exists, to synergistic catalyst space. We describe three case studies involving different modes of catalysis (Brønsted acid, chiral anion, and secondary amine) that substantiate the prospect of this approach to predict and elucidate selectivity in reactions where more than one catalyst is involved. Ultimately, the success in applying our approach to diverse areas of asymmetric catalysis implies that this general workflow should find broad use in the study and development of new enantioselective, multi-catalytic processes.Statistical models can be applied to predict and develop enantioselective reactions involving two catalysts. 相似文献

While chiral allylic organophosphorus compounds are widely utilized in asymmetric catalysis and for accessing bioactive molecules, their synthetic methods are still very limited. We report the development of asymmetric nickel/Brønsted acid dual-catalyzed hydrophosphinylation of 1,3-dienes with phosphine oxides. This reaction is characterized by an inexpensive chiral catalyst, broad substrate scope, and high regio- and enantioselectivity. This study allows the construction of chiral allylic phosphine oxides in a highly economic and efficient manner. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the 1,3-diene insertion into the chiral Ni–H species is a highly regioselective process and the formation of the chiral C–P bond is an irreversible step.Asymmetric hydrophosphinylation of 1,3-dienes with phosphine oxides using an inexpensive chiral catalyst has been demonstrated, providing access to chiral allylic phosphine oxides with broad substrate scope and high regio- and enantioselectivity. 相似文献

Natural enzymes control the intrinsic reactivity of chemical reactions in the natural environment, giving only the necessary products. In recent years, challenging research on the reactivity control of terpenes with structural diversity using artificial host compounds that mimic such enzymatic reactions has been actively pursued. A typical example is the acid-catalyzed olefin isomerization of (+)-limonene, which generally gives a complex mixture due to over-isomerization to thermodynamically favored isomers. Herein we report a highly controlled conversion of (+)-limonene by kinetic suppression of over-isomerization in a confined space of a porous metal–macrocycle framework (MMF) equipped with a Brønsted acid catalyst. The terminal double bond of (+)-limonene migrated to one neighbor, preferentially producing terpinolene. This reaction selectivity was in stark contrast to the homogeneous acid-catalyzed reaction in bulk solution and to previously reported catalytic reactions. X-ray structural analysis and examination of the reaction with adsorption inhibitors suggest that the reactive substrates may bind non-covalently to specific positions in the confined space of the MMF, thereby inhibiting the over-isomerization reaction. The nanospaces of the MMF with substrate binding ability are expected to enable highly selective synthesis of a variety of terpene compounds.A porous metal–macrocycle framework (MMF) equipped with a Brønsted acid catalyst in nanochannels enables highly selective isomerization of limonene to terpinolene by kinetically suppressing over-isomerization at confined acid sites. 相似文献

Catalysis is central to contemporary synthetic chemistry. There has been a recent recognition that the rates of photochemical reactions can be profoundly impacted by the use of Lewis acid catalysts and co-catalysts. Herein, we show that Brønsted acids can also modulate the reactivity of excited-state organic reactions. Brønsted acids dramatically increase the rate of Ru(bpy)32+-sensitized [2 + 2] photocycloadditions between C-cinnamoyl imidazoles and a range of electron-rich alkene reaction partners. A combination of experimental and computational studies supports a mechanism in which the Brønsted acid co-catalyst accelerates triplet energy transfer from the excited-state [Ru*(bpy)3]2+ chromophore to the Brønsted acid activated C-cinnamoyl imidazole. Computational evidence further suggests the importance of driving force as well as geometrical reorganization, in which the protonation of the imidazole decreases the reorganization penalty during the energy transfer event.Brønsted acids can catalyze triplet energy transfer reactions, and DFT computations suggest the unexpected importance of reorganization energy for catalysis. 相似文献

BINOL derived chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) are a prominent class of catalysts in the field of asymmetric organocatalysis, capable of transforming a wide selection of substrates with high stereoselectivities. Exploiting the Brønsted acidic and basic dual functionality of CPAs, substrates with both a hydrogen bond acceptor and donor functionality are frequently used as the resulting bidentate binding via two hydrogen bonds is expected to strongly confine the possible structural space and thus yield high stereoselectivities. Despite the huge success of CPAs and the popularity of a bidentate binding motif, experimental insights into their organization and origin of stereoinduction are scarce. Therefore, in this work the structural space and hydrogen bonding of CPAs and N-(ortho-hydroxyaryl) imines (19 CPA/imine combinations) was elucidated by low temperature NMR studies and corroborated by computations. The postulated bidentate binding of catalyst and substrate by two hydrogen bonds was experimentally validated by detection of trans-hydrogen bond scalar couplings. Counterintuitively, the resulting CPA/imine complexes showed a broad potential structural space and a strong preference towards the formation of [CPA/imine]2 dimers. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that in these dimers, the imines form each one hydrogen bond to two CPA molecules, effectively bridging them. By finetuning steric repulsion and noncovalent interactions, rigid and well-defined CPA/imine monomers could be obtained. NOESY studies corroborated by theoretical calculations revealed the structure of that complex, in which the imine is located in between the 3,3′-substituents of the catalyst and one site of the substrate is shielded by the catalyst, pinpointing the origin or stereoselectivity for downstream transformations.Brønsted acid/substrate complexes with bidentate binding motif were studied by NMR and molecular dynamics. A variety of different arrangements was found, including bridged dimers and monomers were characterised in detail. 相似文献

A family of iron(ii) carbonyl hydride complexes supported by either a bifunctional PNP ligand containing a secondary amine, or a PNP ligand with a tertiary amine that prevents metal–ligand cooperativity, were found to promote the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formate in the presence of Brønsted base. In both cases a remarkable enhancement in catalytic activity was observed upon the addition of Lewis acid (LA) co-catalysts. For the secondary amine supported system, turnover numbers of approximately 9000 for formate production were achieved, while for catalysts supported by the tertiary amine ligand, nearly 60 000 turnovers were observed; the highest activity reported for an earth abundant catalyst to date. The LA co-catalysts raise the turnover number by more than an order of magnitude in each case. In the secondary amine system, mechanistic investigations implicated the LA in disrupting an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the PNP ligand N–H moiety and the carbonyl oxygen of a formate ligand in the catalytic resting state. This destabilization of the iron-bound formate accelerates product extrusion, the rate-limiting step in catalysis. In systems supported by ligands with the tertiary amine, it was demonstrated that the LA enhancement originates from cation assisted substitution of formate for dihydrogen during the slow step in catalysis. 相似文献

We recently demonstrated that chiral cyclopropenimines are viable Brønsted base catalysts in enantioselective Michael and Mannich reactions. Herein, we describe a series of structure–activity relationship studies that provide an enhanced understanding of the effectiveness of certain cyclopropenimines as enantioselective Brønsted base catalysts. These studies underscore the crucial importance of dicyclohexylamino substituents in mediating both reaction rate and enantioselectivity. In addition, an unusual catalyst CH···O interaction, which provides both ground state and transition state organization, is discussed. Cyclopropenimine stability studies have led to the identification of new catalysts with greatly improved stability. Finally, additional demonstrations of substrate scope and current limitations are provided herein. 相似文献

The development of catalyst-controlled stereodivergent asymmetric catalysis is important for providing facile access to all stereoisomers of chiral products with multiple stereocenters from the same starting materials. Despite progress, new design strategies for diastereodivergent asymmetric catalysis are still highly desirable. Here we report the potency of H-bond donors as the governing factor to tune diastereoselectivity in a highly diastereoselective switchable enantioselective Michael addition of α-azido ketones to nitroolefins. While a newly developed bifunctional tertiary amine, phosphoramide, preferentially afforded syn-adducts, an analogous squaramide catalyst selectively gave anti-adducts. The resulting multifunctional tertiary azides can be converted to spiro-pyrrolidines with four continuous stereocenters in a one-pot operation. Mechanistic studies cast light on the control of diastereoselectivity by H-bond donors. While the squaramide-catalyzed reaction proceeded with a transition state with both squaramide N–H bonds binding to an enolate intermediate, an unprecedented model was proposed for the phosphoramide-mediated reaction wherein an amide N–H bond and an alkylammonium ion formed in situ interact with nitroolefins, with the enolate stabilized by nonclassical C–H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions.We report the successful reversal of the diastereoselectivity in an unprecedented Michael addition of α-azido ketones to nitroolefins catalyzed by bifunctional tertiary amines, simply by varying the H-bond donor from phosphoramide to squaramide. 相似文献

We report herein catalytic asymmetric transformations of racemic α-borylmethyl-(E)-crotylboronate. The Brønsted acid-catalyzed kinetic resolution–allylboration reaction sequence of the racemic reagent gave (Z)-δ-hydroxymethyl-anti-homoallylic alcohols with high Z-selectivities and enantioselectivities upon oxidative workup. In parallel, enantioconvergent pathways were utilized to synthesize chiral nonracemic 1,5-diols and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with excellent optical purity.We report herein catalytic asymmetric transformations of racemic α-borylmethyl-(E)-crotylboronate. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that Milstein''s seminal diethylamino-substituted PNN-pincer–ruthenium catalyst for ester hydrogenation is activated by dehydroalkylation of the pincer ligand, releasing ethane and eventually forming an NHEt-substituted derivative that we proposed is the active catalyst. In this paper, we present a computational and experimental mechanistic study supporting this hypothesis. Our DFT analysis shows that the minimum-energy pathways for hydrogen activation, ester hydrogenolysis, and aldehyde hydrogenation rely on the key involvement of the nascent N–H group. We have isolated and crystallographically characterized two catalytic intermediates, a ruthenium dihydride and a ruthenium hydridoalkoxide, the latter of which is the catalyst resting state. A detailed kinetic study shows that catalytic ester hydrogenation is first-order in ruthenium and hydrogen, shows saturation behavior in ester, and is inhibited by the product alcohol. A global fit of the kinetic data to a simplified model incorporating the hydridoalkoxide and dihydride intermediates and three kinetically relevant transition states showed excellent agreement with the results from DFT.We report a detailed mechanistic study of ester hydrogenation catalyzed by the activated form of Milstein’s catalyst. Catalyst activation leads to the replacement of a dialkylamino side group with an NHEt group, which has a key role in catalysis. 相似文献

A detailed analysis of the kinetic behavior of amidoximes in acyl transfer reactions was undertaken in terms of the Brönsted relationship. The reactivity of amidoximate anions is comparable with the reactivity of typical -nucleophiles (oximate ions). The anomalously high nucleophilicity of neutral amidoximes can be explained by the formation of a cyclic transition state, including two types of promoting action – general acid and base catalysis. This type of -nucleophile secures effective cleavage of water-stable substrates not only in alkaline but also in neutral and acidic media. 相似文献

The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters/carbonates is a crucial approach for the synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable polyesters. Even though numerous efficient ROP catalysts have been well established, their toxicity heavily limits the biomedical applications of polyester products. To solve the toxicity issues relating to ROP catalysts, we report herein a biocompatible coordination network, CZU-1, consisting of Zn4(μ4-O)(COO)6 secondary building units (SBUs), biomedicine-relevant organic linkers and guest water, which demonstrates high potential for use in the catalytic ROP synthesis of biomedicine-applicable polyesters. Both experimental and computational results reveal that the guest water in CZU-1 plays crucial roles in the activation of the Zn4(μ4-O)(COO)6 SBUs by generating μ4-OH Brønsted acid centers and Zn–OH Lewis acid centers, having a synergistic effect on the catalytic ROP of cyclic esters. Different to the mechanism reported in the literature, we propose a new reaction pathway for the catalytic ROP reaction, which has been confirmed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, in situ diffuse reflectance IR Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS). Additionally, the hydroxyl end groups allow the polyester products to be easily post-modified with different functional moieties to tune their properties for practical applications. We particularly expect that the proposed catalytic ROP mechanism and the developed catalyst design principle will be generally applicable for the controlled synthesis of biomedicine-applicable polymeric materials.A new ring-opening polymerization mechanism is unveiled based on synergistic catalysis involving Brønsted and Lewis acid centers in a coordination framework. 相似文献

New trifunctional organocatalysts with a NHTs Brønsted acid were prepared and tested in their ability to promote the counterion catalysis of generic and aza-Morita/Baylis/Hillman reactions. The cooperativity between the counterion and the NHTs Brønsted acid of the trifunctional catalyst was required for good enantioselectivity and rate enhancement. Better enantioselectivity was observed for aza-MBH reactions at relatively low catalyst loading (2-5 mol %) under facile conditions. 相似文献

Lewis acidic aluminum in zeolites, particularly acidity that is inherent to the framework, is an indeterminate concept. A fraction of framework aluminum changes geometry to octahedral coordination in the proton form of zeolite mordenite. Such octahedrally coordinated aluminum is the precursor of a Lewis acid site and its formation is accompanied by a loss in Brønsted acidity. Herein, we show that such Lewis acid sites have a preferred location in the pore structure of mordenite. A greater proportion of these Lewis acid sites resides in the side-pockets than in the main channel. By reverting the octahedrally coordinated aluminum back to a tetrahedral geometry, the corresponding Brønsted acid sites are restored with a concomitant loss in the ability to form Lewis acid sites. Thereby, reversible octahedral–tetrahedral aluminum coordination provides a means to indirectly switch between Lewis and Brønsted acidity. This phenomenon is unique to Lewis acidity that is inherent to the framework, thereby distinguishing it from Lewis acidity originating from extra-framework species. Furthermore, the transformation of framework aluminum into octahedral coordination is decoupled from the generation of distorted tetrahedrally coordinated aluminum, where the latter gives rise to the IR band at 3660 cm−1 in the OH stretching region.Framework-associated aluminum is demonstrated to facilitate a reversible switch between Lewis and Brønsted acidity in zeolites with the Lewis acid sites preferentially populating the side-pockets in the case of mordenite. 相似文献

In spite of intense, recent research efforts, luminescent transition metal complexes with Earth-abundant metals are still very rare owing to the small ligand field splitting of 3d transition metal complexes and the resulting non-emissive low-energy metal-centered states. Low-energy excited states decay efficiently non-radiatively, so that near-infrared emissive transition metal complexes with 3d transition metals are even more challenging. We report that the heteroleptic pseudo-octahedral d2-vanadium(iii) complex VCl3(ddpd) (ddpd = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-dipyridine-2-yl-pyridine-2,6-diamine) shows near-infrared singlet → triplet spin–flip phosphorescence maxima at 1102, 1219 and 1256 nm with a lifetime of 0.5 μs at room temperature. Band splitting, ligand deuteration, excitation energy and temperature effects on the excited state dynamics will be discussed on slow and fast timescales using Raman, static and time-resolved photoluminescence, step-scan FTIR and fs-UV pump-vis probe spectroscopy as well as photolysis experiments in combination with static quantum chemical calculations. These results inform future design strategies for molecular materials of Earth-abundant metal ions exhibiting spin–flip luminescence and photoinduced metal–ligand bond homolysis.Vanadium is an abundant and cheap metal but near-infrared luminescent vanadium complexes are extremely rare with largely unexplored photophysics and photochemistry. We delineate the photodynamics of VCl3(ddpd) to infer novel design strategies. 相似文献

Aqueous room temperature phosphorescence (aRTP) from purely organic materials has been intriguing but challenging. In this article, we demonstrated that the red aRTP emission of 2Br–NDI, a water-soluble 4,9-dibromonaphthalene diimide derivative as a chloride salt, could be modulated by anion–π and intermolecular electronic coupling interactions in water. Specifically, the rarely reported stabilization of anion–π interactions in water between Cl− and the 2Br–NDI core was experimentally evidenced by an anion–π induced long-lived emission (λAnion–π) of 2Br–NDI, acting as a competitive decay pathway against the intrinsic red aRTP emission (λPhos) of 2Br–NDI. In the initial expectation of enhancing the aRTP of 2Br–NDI by inclusion complexation with macrocyclic cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s, n = 7, 8, 10), we surprisingly found that the exclusion complexation between CB[8] and 2Br–NDI unconventionally endowed the complex with the strongest and longest-lived aRTP due to the strong intermolecular electronic coupling between the nπ* orbit on the carbonyl rims of CB[8] and the ππ* orbit on 2Br–NDI in water. It is anticipated that these intriguing findings may inspire and expand the exploration of aqueous anion–π recognition and CB[n]-based aRTP materials.The aqueous room temperature phosphorescence of 2Br–NDI is modulated by long-lived-emitting anion–π interactions and tremendously enhanced by intermolecular electronic coupling interactions with the ISC-boosting carbonyl rims of CB[8] host. 相似文献

The doubly decarboxylative Michael–type addition of pyridylacetic acid to chromone-3-carboxylic acids or coumarin-3-carboxylic acids has been developed. This protocol has been realized under Brønsted base catalysis, providing biologically interesting 4-(pyridylmethyl)chroman-2-ones and 2-(pyridylmethyl)chroman-4-ones in good or very good yields. The decarboxylative reaction pathway has been confirmed by mechanistic studies. Moreover, attempts to develop an enantioselective variant of the cascade are also described. 相似文献
